I am sharing with you today my last project with the Scraps of Elegance "Christmas Cheer" kit, which is this set of 3 Christmas cards, all using the Vintage Christmas 2 papers from Blue Fern Studios included in the main kit as well as different embellishments from the Elements and Floral Add-Ons.

I used a gold marker to color the metal accents from the kit to give them a tint of gold to go along with the papers and my ribbons.

I absolutely wanted to make a card in these non-traditional colours found on the sticker sheet from the kit. I really love how my card turned out in pastel hues.

And my last card is all decked in gold and beige dabbed with white paint.

I am thrilled to announce that I will be staying on as DT member for the Scraps of Elegance kits in 2017! I cannot wait to start creating with the January kit coming soon!!

Until then, here's a last look at the "Christmas Cheer" kit and its add-ons:

Testimony: I used the word 'tradition' as inspiration in my journaling. However, you can't see my journaling as it's written on the journaling card slipped behind the large photo, but this is what it reads: "One Christmas tradition I cherish the most from my childhood is to take a photo on Santa Claus' lap... and lo and behold, on our first Christmas together, Yves and I were lucky enough to get some pictures with the big jolly man himself (aka Uncle Euclide)!"

Here is a glimpse once again at the Scraps of Elegance 'Christmas Cheer' kit along with the Elements and the Floral Add-Ons!

I haven't posted in a week, but I have a good excuse! I have been pretty busy creating with the brand new Scraps of Elegance kit called "Christmas Cheer" and am now ready to share with you a few of my projects, starting with this very 'magical' Wintery layout.

The "Christmas Cheer" kit features the Vintage Christmas papers from Blue Fern Studio, a couple BFS chipboard sets and lots of beautiful flowers and metal accents. When I received the kit, I immediately thought of the Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo December challenge's 'Magic' mood board. Click HERE for more information on this challenge!

The image inspired me to use lots of metallic and sparkly colours on my chipboard to go along with the pretty gold and copper flowers available through the SOE Floral Add-On kit.

I went a bit crazy with the dabs of white paint over all my embellishments.

The kit comes with a set of 3 of these intricate Christmas baubles from BFS.

I didn't have a picture in my own collection to give this creative idea in my head justice, so I borrowed one from the internet. This gorgeous print called 'Christmas Evening' is from Thomas Kinkade which you can see HERE.

It doesn't get any more magical and Christmasy than this!

Come back tomorrow to see more creations made with the Scraps of Elegance "Christmas Cheer" kit.
